Chisme Alert: George Lopez Splits With Wife Of 17 Years

By Michael Lopez

It’s always sad reporting on celebrity marriage breakups, especially when the couple seemed as strong as George Lopez, and his wife Ann. Together for over 17 years, she had seen him throughout his entire star-studded rise and even gave him one of her kidneys! But now it looks like G. Lo will be living life as a single man.

In a statement issued by the couple, their rep announced:

"George and Ann Lopez have made the decision to end their 17 year marriage. The decision is amicable and by mutual agreement. They remain dedicated parents, and committed partners in business and their philanthropic organization, The Lopez Foundation."

We certainly hope things remain amicable (especially for the sake of their 15-year-old daughter Mayan), but with all kinds of rumors swirling about the cause of the split, there is a chance things could get ugly. Not to mention the substantial fortune George has amassed in the past decade. Could there be a battle looming for Ann’s share of the pie?

No matter what happens, we know we’ll be hearing from Ann Serrano Lopez again. A talented force in her own right, she wrote episodes of 'George Lopez' (currently on the Tr3s sched), acted in shows like 'Curb Your Enthusiasm', and produced many of G. Lo's comedy specials. Who knows, maybe if things go smoothly enough, she’ll wind up promoting her next project on 'Lopez Tonight.'
